    Intex leak on seam

    Last year I bought a 14 foot round Intex prism pool . After about a weak it developed a small leak somewhere near the edge. I couldn't find it so I patched the entire area with old pool liner pieces and underwater sealant. It worked and was fine . The pool was up all winter and it did not leak...

    Liner Issues on Summer waves Elite Frame 14 x42

    I didn't put up my Summer waves in the end. I just bought an Intex instead. I have had problems with leaks on Intex too in the past. If I cant find a leak , I take some old pool liner and patch the entire area of the suspected leak. I use a product called Water Wet Sticky Stuff ( which works...

    Intex legs pulling in due to overtight band

    Pool is now at 22inch (more than half full) but I cant get the legs to pull out any more . The band is too tight. They are only off by about 1-2 cm off being straight. I think I am over thinking this but I was always able to straighten the legs on my old Ultra pool.

    Bestway liner over intex prism liner

    I bought an Intex prism instead. The liner is Just as thin ! ( but at least I have an old intex liner I can patch it with if necessary) I am currently filling. I am having an issue with the band being too tight and pulling some of the legs inward. It's not too drastic so fingers crossed !

    Intex prism leg sleeves and new t - joints

    Hi all I am an old style Intex ultra owner looking to buy a replacement. The new ultras are too big so I am thinking of the prism frame (but those new plastic T-joints and leg sleeves make me nervous ! ) Does anyone own a new style intex with the plastic t's and leg sleeves ? Do the leg sleeves...

    Bestway liner over intex prism liner

    I just purchased a summer waves pool and decided the liner is nasty. It was translucent , a fraction thinner than Intex, gave off a really chemical smell and was full of gritty specks. I am going to return it. Now I am torn between an intex prism and a Bestway steel pro max (new wood effect ) ...

    Liner Issues on Summer waves Elite Frame 14 x42

    Anyone replaced a summer waves 14x42 elite frame liner with a Bestway steel pro max or Intex prism liner? My new Summer waves liner looks so poor that I can't risk putting it up . The frame looks really good and I would like to use that. If anyone has done it successfully I would love to hear.
